Dr. Raj Vhatkar is a leading Orthopedic Surgeon specializing in advanced Robotic Total Knee Replacement. This state-of-the-art technique combines surgical precision with robotic assistance to ensure accurate implant placement, minimal tissue damage, and superior outcomes. By integrating 3D imaging and computerized planning, Dr. Vhatkar customizes each surgery to match the patient’s unique anatomy, achieving better alignment, balance, and long-term joint performance. Robotic knee replacement offers a more precise, safer, and faster recovery journey for patients suffering from severe knee arthritis or joint degeneration.
Robotic-assisted knee replacement uses advanced computer mapping and robotic guidance to enhance surgical accuracy. The robotic arm assists the surgeon in preparing the bone and positioning the implant with unmatched precision, improving implant longevity and natural movement. Dr. Raj Vhatkar performs Robotic Total Knee Replacement using the VELYS™ Robotic-Assisted System by Johnson & Johnson — an advanced technology designed to deliver personalized alignment, minimal tissue disruption, and consistent, reproducible outcomes.
For patients with arthritis confined to one compartment of the knee, partial robotic replacement preserves healthy tissue and bone, resulting in a more natural-feeling joint and quicker recovery.
A subcuticular stitch is taken during surgery to avoid the pain and burden of stitch removal and gives a barely visible scar post operatively.
Smaller incisions and soft-tissue-friendly techniques minimize pain, reduce blood loss, and speed up post-surgery healing and rehabilitation.
Patients undergoing Robotic Total Knee Replacement can usually begin walking with support within 24–48 hours after surgery. With advanced techniques and minimally invasive procedures, most individuals recover significantly within 4–6 weeks and can resume normal activities soon after. Physiotherapy plays a vital role in regaining strength and mobility, and with consistent care, patients enjoy long-term relief and joint stability.
